Estimation of inbreeding from population samples
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 July 2016
Abstract
Some simple methods of estimating inbreeding from tests on a random sample of individuals are discussed. These are mostly iterative procedures, converging to the maximum likelihood estimate, with algorithms for finding standard errors. But there are problems of interpretation, both from the statistical and biological points of view.
